First flying with Autism

I'm due to fly for the first time in a few days but Have already seen a lack of appetitie as my anxiety is on one with all this stress.

I'm wondering how everyone has coped with Anxiety and how you have found your first flight.

Is there any tips for first time flyers which I haven't covered yet.

I have done the following
Airport Familation Visit
Destination Research
Packing early
Sorting out music
Preparing Lavendar Oil resucue

But i'm still struggling with stress of this pre flight stage and I'm getting the autism stress pains which is not good

    I'm fine with the "flying" part, because I don't need to do much except sit on the plane. But what makes me nervous is all the complicated planning required as well as travelling in an unfamiliar place after I landed. But based on your post, it seems that you are very well prepared. You've got the special assistance booked, thought about toiletries, done airport fumigation visit, done destination research, done early packing, sorted out music and lavender oil. It seems like you're very well prepared. I hope that after all this planning you'll feel more reassured and can enjoy your travel!
